“I ALMOST recommend this, because as a tabletop DnD player I really enjoy the 5e system and it is implemented well here. I especially enjoy the highly customisable difficulty, because it essentially allows for house…”
“If you're looking for a deep, immersive RPG with memorable character's... this ain't it. But if you're looking for the most faithful D&D 5th edition video game adaptation you can find, you're in the right place. The…”
“Solasta is a fairly ugly game with questionable writing and voice acting, but as a D&D simulator it's fantastic. I played BG3 to death and needed to scratch the itch with something new, and this did it. The main…”

“Amazing game! I've been playing it coop with my friend for several months now! Kudos for the hilarious dialogues that gives so much personality to the character. Good luck for the release of Solasta 2!!”
“Fantastic DnD game. If you overlook the fact that the characters look like playdoh and how the VA sounds like theatre kids, the gameplay and story(s) is wonderful. Combat is great and progression feels faithful to the…”
“I just finished the campaign. In my opinion, the game is great! I had a fun time playing it. It has a nice story. The side quests are short and usually the "go back there, find an item and kill some mobs that spawned…”

“A little rough around the edges compared to other popular D&D-type tactical combat games but totally worth it. Most combats feel challenging, and they've improved my understanding of tabletop D&D mechanics and tactics.…”

“Mediocre at best in all of its aspects, aside from combat - a rather faithful rendition of 5e rules, with all of their strengths and flaws. The most basic kind of story, terrible fantasy naming, weak dialogues and…”

“Solasta: Crown of the Magister — the game that boldly answers the question: “What if your Dungeon Master was a spreadsheet… but like, a *really passionate* spreadsheet?” From the moment you boot it up, you’re greeted…”
“I am writing this review after playing the base game. A lot of people gives good insight in other comments, and the thumbs up / down will depend completely on what you are up to tolerate. For me the amount of hours…”

“Terrible story. The plot doesn't even flow and it's not very compelling. For an RPG that's the most important thing - don't buy full price, and certainly don't play for the entertainment value. There is none to be had.…”

“Alright. Solasta: Crown of the Magister is done and dusted. In classic D&D fashion, this is a game where your group of adventurers become embroiled in an ever-widening conspiracy which eventually sees your group preventing an apocalyptic event. Which in D&D campaigns pretty much…”

— a player, Steam review · 216 hrs played“Easy recommendation! For fans of DnD and turned based RPGs I could not recommend this game enough. True to its DnD origins (feels more like D&D then Baldur's gate 3) with fair dice rolls, and extreme level of details. The pace is as fast or as slow as you need it to be which…”
